@cindyb -Cindy have you considered a second or third opinion?

Does anyone know if Medicare/aarp united healthcare pays for 3rd opinions? I’m getting conflicting advice between my local oncologist and my MD Anderson 2nd opinion oncologist. Both have been in agreement to this point in my treatments.

Yes. We got a second opinion a while back and additional tests but they came up with the same situation. They honestly don't know what to do.........We got our second from Colorado University (CU) Medical Center and they sent off his biopsies to Mayo and Cleveland for help, but nope...........no one knows what to do. It's exhausting and frustrating. We're on our 3rd oncologist as well and we like this one.
Thanks for your help.
